Up to 200 terrorists killed in Russian airstrikes against a terrorist training base near Syria’s Palmyra: Russian Ministry of Defense

The Russian Defense Ministry has announced that its aircrafts have conducted airstrikes against a terrorists’ training base near the Syrian city of Palmyra, killing up to 200 terrorists and destroying around 500 kilograms of munitions.

“According to intelligence data, terrorists established a base near Palmyra to train combat groups before sending them to carry out terror attacks in various areas in Syria, and to make improvised explosive devices,” Alexander Karpov, Deputy Chief of the Russian Center for Coordination in Hmeimim said on Monday.

He added that after the location of terrorists’ facilities was confirmed through several channels, the Russian aircrafts carried out airstrikes that destroyed two terrorists’ dens. Up to 200 terrorists were killed, 24 pickup trucks with heavy machineguns and around 500 kilograms of munitions and components for improvised explosive devices were destroyed, he confirmed.

Karpov pointed out that terrorist groups are plotting terror attack on government institutions in big cities to destabilize the country ahead of the forthcoming Syrian presidential election.

 “Terrorists are being trained at training camps located on territories that are not controlled by the Syrian authorities, including in the US-controlled al-Tanf area,” he stressed.
